Apologies for not being a more regular and consistant blogger. I have good intentions and think about it a lot, but just don't take the time to actually sit down and write.
Ok, so this morning when I first woke up, I took a few pics. As you can see, my plaques are still there and large - actually in most cases even larger than when I first began Apremilast.
They are; however, flatter, not nearly as inflamed, much lighter in color and do appear to be drying up. There are a few patches on my forearms where I can actually "see-thru" them and see the freckles on my skin! That is huge. Yay! I am actually seeing my skin underneath for the first time since the patches/plaques appeared.
So, I think I am on the actual medicine and that it is building up in my system. I can't wait to see the changes 10 days from now because I think it's really starting to kick in. Now I know the pics of my knees above still look terrible - and they do - but they really do look a lot better. Scale is so much thinner and color underneath the scale is so much lighter pink.
My stomach is still a mess. I wonder when/if my stomach will be used to it. It is not so severe that I would stop taking the medicine, but I am visiting more public restrooms than I would prefer.
Joints are in pretty good shape. Hands/fingers are iffy ... really have to watch them (certain movements will set them off). All in all, really good and now the skin is finally starting to show improvement ...
Looking forward to hopefully showing off my cute little freckles in a few months.
